inner socket. Fabricate the outer socket using the familiar technique. The "No Carbon Zone"
label can be applied to the Myo Plus TR dummy as an aid for the lamination of carbon sockets.
7.3 Inserting electrodes
CAUTION
Improper securing of the electrode domes
Injury due to product malfunction.
►
Do not use thread locking compound (Loctite) to secure the electrode domes. Applying
thread locking compound forms an insulating layer that prevents transmission of the EMG
signals.
Required tools
•
Lug wrench (7 mm)
included in delivery
1) Insert the dome nut into the prepared hole in the prosthetic socket from the outside.
2) Insert the dome of the remote electrode into the prosthetic socket from the inside.
The blue and green cables have to be positioned on the two marked lines.
3) Secure the remote electrodes and cables on the inner socket with adhesive tape or hook-and-
loop fastening strap.
4) Screw on the dome with the dome nut.
5) Hand-tighten the dome nut with the wrench.
INFORMATION: If the dome nut is over-tightened, the dome tears off at the predeter
mined breaking point. Use the supplied tools.
INFORMATION: The remote electrodes and wiring can be protected against moisture
and dirt with film or adhesive tape.
7.4 Installing the Myo Plus TR
The Myo Plus TR can be secured on the inner socket with adhesive tape or a hook-and-loop
fastening strap. To protect it against moisture, the Myo Plus TR can be covered with film or
adhesive tape.
Should the available space between the outer and inner socket be insufficient, a space must be
reserved during lamination of the outer socket (lamination dummy). Different electrode cable
lengths permit installation in the outer socket.
The following steps must be carried out to connect the electrode and Myo Plus TR:
1) Remove the cover caps from the required inputs.
2) Connect the remote electrodes to the Myo Plus TR.
Observe the correct assignment of the plug connections.
INFORMATION: Plug connection "A" must not be used.
INFORMATION: If fewer than 8 remote electrodes are installed, the plug connections
with the highest numbers are not used.
3) Secure the cables with the protection cap.
7.5 Establishing a connection
INFORMATION
The numbers on the plastic housing serve as orientation for connecting the cables.
INFORMATION
The connection between the Myo Plus TR and the respective component is identical for a pros
thesis on the right and left side. The prosthesis side and rotation direction are set in the Myo
Plus app.
